Ibiza in the 1990s

There was never a dance party scene like that of Ibiza, Spain in the 1990s. Led by now-legendary DJs Paul Oakenfold and Paul Van Dyke, Ibiza quickly changed course from being a hippie hangout in the ‘70s to being the trance and house music capital of the world. The dance clubs were open, literally, 24 hours a day and there was often no lag between daytime clubbers and nighttime, allowing each partygoer to dance to his heart’s content. Such legendary clubs include Space, which is consistently rated the best club in the world, and their “dance festivals” were known to attract 20,000 people at a time. To this day Ibiza remains a world clubbing capital, but it was the 1990s that put it on the map.
